CITY COMMISSION MEETING

the Citizens Advisory Committee and after being fully apprised as to what
certificates were outstanding and would need to be refinanced, it was the
Committee's opinion that the City should refinance $436,000.00 in utility
certificates. Commissioner Kennedy pointed out that by consolidating all the
utility certificates in one issue it was hoped to gain a more favorable interest
rate, possibly even less than 3% according to Mr. Spragins. Upon being
questioned. Mr. Spragins stated that he would request his attorneys, the firm
of Caldwell, Marshall, Trimble and Mitchell in New York City, to prepare the
necessary ordinance in time to present at the July 18th Commission meeting. The
Mayor stated that the City water rates will not be raised as a result of the
revenue certificate issue but it will probably be necessary to raise the water
rates after connecting to the permanent County water system as the City will be
paying the County at a rate of 5~ per thousand gallons. Commissioner Kennedy
moved that the Resolution as read and amended be approved and that the proper
officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner

meters, it was found that a flow recorder meter was tbe best type. He said an
estimate had been received from the Gas Machinery Company or Cincinnati, Ohio,
for $790.00 for a flow recorder meter. He explained tbat this was not a biddable
item as it had to be built specifically for the City's use. Commissioner Strang
moved that a work order in the amount of $790.00 be approved for a flow recorder
meter for the Gas Plant in accordance with the City Manager's recommendation.
Motion ~as seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

one typewriter and miscellaneous office equipment. Commissioner Russell moved
that the work order for $500.00 for the Planning Board Office be approved. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
In compliance with a request from the Commission to check the water mains
installed in Skycrest Unit 9, the City Manager reported that there were 47
meters connected to the line, the condition of the mains was good, and that they
are tied in both north and south and at Rainbow and Cleveland. He recommended
approval of the refunding contract for the water mains with A & W Glads, Inc.,
in the amount of $2,043.90. Commissioner Strang moved that the refunding
contract with A & W Glads, Inc., in the City of Clearwater in the amount of
$2.043.90 be approved and the proper officials be authorized to execute it.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Manager recommended approval of a refunding contract with Mr. James
Karas to cover 630 feet of two inch water main in Beverly Heights Subdivision
and reported he had a check for $400.00 from Mr. Karas on file. Commissioner
Strang moved that the refunding contract between Mr. Karas and the City of
Clearwater in the amount of $400.00 be approved and the proper officials be
authorized to execute it, the refunding to be on domestic meters only. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

Gentlemen:
Attached is a plot plan of a residence to be built on Lot 1, Block 16,
Mandalay Subdivision; being the ~orth East corner of Mandalay Avenue and Mango

In view of the existing ordinance requ~rlng a 25 foot set back from any

of a 15 foot set back on Mango St. (Hardship being that owner can't build a house
on his lot unless 15 foot set back is approved).
The previous ordinance provided for a 10 foot set back on side streets in
this Subdivision and all existing residences are so 10cated5 I, therefore,
submit the matter for your action and approval on the basis that it will cau se
no harm or injury to any surrounding property owners and denial wou~d cause the
lot to be virtually worthless.

and 2. together with a drive~ay along the west boulldary of Lot 2. All of the

Gentlemen:
Attached is a piot plan of a r esidence to be built on Lot l, Block 16,
Mandalay Subdivision� being the Aiorth East corner of Nandalay Avenue and Mango
Street.
In view of the existing ordinance requiring a 25 foot set back from any
side street zn an R-1 zone, it is necessary to have 2pproval, as a hardship case,
of a 15 ioot set back on Mango St. (Hardship being that owner can't build a house
on his lot unless 15 foot set back is approvedj.
The previous ordinance px•ovided for a 10 foot set back on side s�reets in
this SuL�division and all existing residences are so located. I, thsrefore,
submit the matter for yo�r action and approval on the basis that it will cause
no harm or injury to any surroundir�g property owners and denial would cause the
lot to be virtually worthless.
Very sincerely yours,
